Appreciate the encouragement, guys. I've had a bunch of bikes flow through over the years, some you enjoy, some you try to give new life., some just slip through. Never really been a collector, if it ain't being ridden, then someone else deserves it. There's a couple that will probably slip away come Spring. The R75/6 is nostalgia cause the R75/5 was my second ever BMW, white, no less. This one is a solid machine, but has a few things about it that are too non-traditional, so it's gonna be a Winter project along with the K100GS brat, which needs some finishing touches. I enjoyed the season with about 12,000 miles of various machines but no shop time. I did get the K100RS Sidecar finished this summer, but that's about all. Planning a long road trip with the sidecar come late Spring, and ready to get back in the shop hopefully soon. :euro
